Works for me. Can you play the video in your browser? If you're located outside the US, it may be that Comedy Central won't let you view it due to advertising agreements.

If you can watch it in your browser, could you run the command again with the --dump-intermediate-pages option, and post the results.

Oh, that could be it. (I'm currently in France.) I assumed it was a problem with youtube-dl being out of date since it used to work fine, but stopped working when the layout of The Daily Show website changed. I guess the only 'problem' here is that they aren't checking IP location from the 'single clips' page. (and please don't inform them of this fact :) )

Works fine for me, even though I'm in Finland and see the 'We're sorry, but this video isn't available in your location'. Not sure if there's some secondary region blocking in place as well.
